supplier ≠ the lead miner
How to read this. Each row is where Macedonia [FYROM] imports a material from — the immediate customs origin, sorted by single-supplier concentration. marks a top source that is also the material's lead miner (a genuine origin); without it, the supplier is a refiner or hub and the real mine sits further upstream (open the material's profile to see where).

Import-vulnerability index (31/100). A value-weighted average, across Macedonia [FYROM]’s imports, of each material’s supply-risk index × how concentrated Macedonia [FYROM]’s own sourcing of it is. High when it buys intrinsically risky materials from a single supplier; lower when it diversifies. The risk column below is the material’s own score — multiply it by the country’s share to see where Macedonia [FYROM] is most exposed.
